Closing
Before we end our session today, let me share with you a quote Slides # 43 -45
from Earnst Sachs “To question well is to teach well. In the skillful use of
questions, more than anything else lies the fine art of teaching” and Josef
Albers “Good teaching is more a giving of right questions than a giving of
right answers”.

Thank you. Good luck and God bless!
